In this class we were given various kinds of speeches to write, execute, and upload. Rather than provide a bunch of words to explain this class and theses assignments, I will simply let the following You Tube videos do the talking.

Speech #3: Informative Speech (Practice)
For this seven to nine minute informative speech, you’ll need to address a relevant psychological or apologetic issue. You may choose from the variety of topics below. Although you’re welcome to use information from personal experience or prior study to supplement your research, your speech must be research-based. During your speech, you should refer to at least three credible sources. To support your points, you must also develop and use a visual presentation.

Speech #4: Persuasive Speech
For this ten to twelve minute speech, you’ll need to persuade your classmates to support a local, national, or international ministry (or an individual minister or missionary) or a local, national, or international charity of your choice.
As you prepare your speech, remember that your audience will want to know why they should vote for the cause you’re promoting: Be sure to emphasize not only the need--but also the opportunity. Also, be aware that donors usually prefer to contribute to something specific—a unique project or cause.
In addition to asking for financial support, though, consider asking your audience to pray for the ministry or charity. In reality, prayer support is even more critical than financial support, although both are important to the ongoing success of any ministry or charity.
